"This issue focuses on the study of inner alchemy, paying special attention to the practice of Dandao丹道, and it conducts related research on Daoist medicine, thunder rites, iconography, etc. “Atlas” could be viewed as a metaphor for the integration of various Daoist practices into a cohesive system of cultivation. It provides a roadmap to navigate through the inner alchemical processes and understand how each aspect (physical health, energy work, ritual practice, and spiritual observation) contributes to the overall goal of transforming the self."

"The Chinese animated blockbuster Ne Zha 2 has captured the hearts of audiences since its release during Spring Festival this year. As of Feb 22, the film's box office revenue has surpassed 13 billion yuan (about $1.8 billion), cementing its place as China's all-time top-grossing film.

"The Tianyuan tripod, known as the "foundation of the Chan sect" in the film, is a key alchemical tool in the Jade Xu Palace. Its design draws inspiration from the flat, spherical bellies and column feet of bronze tripods used during the Shang and Zhou dynasties (c.16th century-256 BC). The tripod's intricate decoration includes common motifs like the Taotie (a mythological creature) and cloud-thunder patterns, which were popular during these dynasties."

Sergei Zotov (Frances Yates Fellow): 'Magical Transmutations: Mutual Influences of Alchemical and Grimoire Imagery in Early Modern Manuscripts'
"Could alchemical images permeate magic and occult manuscripts, challenging the common perception of these practices as distinct and unrelated? Evidence suggests that this might indeed be the case. A recently discovered German paper amulet includes a ciphered quotation from the 1616 alchemical work Chymical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz, positioned alongside a six-pointed cross from the Spanish city of Caravaca and the well-known magical incantation ‘abracadabra’. This instance is not unique: during the early modern period, alchemical imagery and texts frequently appeared in magic books and grimoires."

"The world of alchemy was rich with discovery and debate. Andreas Libavius was a pivotal figure in this realm, recognized for his alchemical experiments, writings on chrysopoeia, and critiques of Paracelsus. This video explores Libavius's contributions to alchemy, his intricate relationship with Paracelsian thought, and the controversies surrounding his work."
